- machine, whim This invention relates 'te adding machines, und itconsists ef mechanism eepemting with the adding mechanism ei the machinewhereby, eine sum er total represented or contained in the addingmechanism may be visibiy registered er indicated at ang/ desired time.

My invention is particularly adapted for irse in eenneetien with theDaiten adding is eenetrueted in accordance with the adding mechanism ordepartment constituting ai 'part ofthe snbiectdnetter of Hepirins Perte'1,039,130. dated Sep teinber wi'ii be nnderstemi5 iiewewr i de netrestrict my inventien te nse in t'ne @feiten ineeiiine, for it will beapparent tiret it may reediiy be attached and combined for use inconnection with other machines.

An object ef tbe invention is te provide meeiienism eperebieentenietieeiiy t eect risible indication e: registration ef the snm ertote?. eenteined er represented in the edding meehenisin etiiefmeehirie.

Another object is; ie mechanism arranged een?y C"ete mth tbe submergedand nenfindiezsingx;adding mechanism of an adding machine whereby :anysinn er totei eenteined er represented in seid adding mechanism wili berendered Yisibie et eli times, preifeznbiy by u movement of the addw ingmechanism subsequent te each adding operation.,

Figs.

Fig. i is :i front View of the in1^ Meeting erregistering dew'iees, showing e total indicated thereby. Fig. 5 is efront View of a series of adding "Wheels er disks. constructed inaccordance with` the require ments ei one embodiment of luy-present in*Ventron.

The machine of the type referred te ineiudes a meinroek shaft 1, whoseoperation A vdetermines the operation of the adding and recordingmechanism. A series of racks Q Swing 'from e shaft 3 and are nnited intheir movement by stops- 47 mounted within a. carriage 5. Thetype-earriers 6 are conf" trailed by the racks 2 e'ectiveiy te presenttbe recording type 7 aieng e printing line on the pieten 8. The types 7may then be driven effectively te recerd the marinus itexns'to be listedand added.

The machine :riso includes suppbrts 9, carrying e. shaft 10 transyerseite the mwement` et the reeks 2. footbed Wheels 11 are supperte'd en tilesbeft 10 land are heid indepressed besition ont omesb with the racks 2'during forward travel ef the reeksnnd are raised into mesh with seidreeks prior te their return movement :and are operated by the reekseifect'iveiy te add numbers recorded.. Upon the shaft l, is en erm orplate 12, which ie swung bacia: and forth when the shaft 1 is rocked.The erin er plete 12 is provided with en extension 13., which, duringsiight lost or idie movement ef the arm or piete 12 during its backwardoperation, engages with e prejieetien 14 en one 0i the supperts 9thereby operating y of the machine and Whose front ends are 11pheid by isupport 17 when the adding Wheels are Operating or are in mesh with the'racks 0 The adding Wheels and t1-ms 16 ere equal in number and areequally spaced, so

that, in the present embodiment, tbe rem: ends of the seid arms;terminate adjacent te endnnder the adding Wheeisbeing provided withi'lpturned extensions 18, adapted tube engaged and eperated by theadding wheels.

The front end of each of the arms 16 supports an indicatingorregistering plate 19, said platesdieing in transverse ahnement. (ln thefront face of each of the registering plates 19 is a numeral indicatoror register comprising type representing the ten ligures or digits insequential order from 0 7 at the top to 9 at the bottom. The indicatingor registering plates are concealed behind an opaque part of the case20, which is provided with a sight slot 21, through Vwhich numbersindicated or registered by the `type on plates may be observed. In thepresent construction the endsA ofv the teeth of the adding 'wheels 11are in an involute lille, the tooth representing 0 being nearest thecenter and the lothers beingof progressively greater length, a'sshown inFigs. 2 and 3.' in the present embodiment the adding mechanism is clear`when the smaller or 0 teeth are upon the ends 18 of the arms 16 and inclear adjustment ofthe adding wheels the said arms-'16 rest upon the support 17 and the indicating or registering .plates y19 disclose a line of0 characters through the `sight slot 21.. When any num e ber is added orlrepresented in ,the adding wheels said wheels are` turned so that, whenlowered, longer or larger teeth of said wheels will engage upon the ends18.0f the arms 16 .and raise the front ends of. saidarms proportionatelyso that the number represented in the adding Wheels will be dis closedthrough thesight slot 21, as clearly shown in Fig. 4.

From the foregoing descriptionand by\ reference to thev accompanyingdrawings it will be observed that the indicating or registeringmechanism or appliances which II have provided are operatedautomatically after each item is listed or added, effectively -toregister and discloseto the operator the wheels at any sum or total'inthe addin time. The `arms 16,.,in t e' embodiment shown, are operateddirectly by-the adding- 'wheels themselves, but it. will be apparentthat they may be operated'by, other parts such, for instance, as byinvolute disks attached to the sides of the adding wheels.4

I do not restrict myself to any specific construction or arrangement,but What I claimand desireto secure by Letters-Patent is-` 1. In anadding machine, the combinationv with adding wheels, actuators foroperating said adding Wheels to add, -portions formed on said wheels atgraduated distances from the axis ofsaid wheels, and means for movingsaid Wheels into and out of engagement 1 Awhereby said adding .wheels Ysaid indicating means after wheels `out of engagement with saidactuators. y f

2. ln an adding machine, the combination with adding wheels operable toadd numbers and each thereof having its teeth of graduated lengths,actuators for said adding wheels, means for engagirg'and disengaactuators, 1n

4. In an add' machine, a'series-of adding wheels opera leatoadd numbers,means `for movin sa'ida'dding `wheels transversely of their axls afterea'chadding operation, independently movable-'indicating devices, andmeans for operating said indicating devices incidentally to thetransverse movement' of said wheels aftereachaddin operation.

5. In an adding machine, t ecombination with adding whels,mechanism foroperating' said adding wheels to add numbers, and means for` engagingandai' g said adding wheels and said mechanism, f means for indicatingnumbers, and `connections each addin operation has been com letedincidenta y lto disengagementof sai wheelsnnd saidop-v eratingmechanism. 4

6. In an addin machine, a series of adding wheels opera, le to-addnumbers, means for movin said wheels transversely of their axis aftereachaddng operation, indicatingy devices, and means for operating saiddevices varying distances to indicate the digits of the numberrepresented by the positlons of said wheels incidentally to the movementof said wheels after each adding operation.

. 7. Inan adding machine, mechanism for adding numbers, indicatingdevices'a'ctuators forV said indicating'devictsand means formoving saidaddingfmechanism out of engagement with said actuators'to position saidindicating devices aftereach--adding operation is completed to-indicatethe number represented in said adding mechanism.
